What's Up With That?
Crossposted to Lifelike Pundits.
I'm a little confused about a few things these days:
*According to liberals, our soldiers are children. For several years now, we've been hearing about how our children are being sent off to fight George Bush's war. The fact that they have to be of legal age, 18, to voluntarily enlist doesn't seem to enter the equation.
On the other hand, liberals consider children as young as 10 or 12 old enough to not only be having sex, but to get an abortion without parental notification.
Oh, and some people in California thought that a 14-year-old should be given "partial" voting rights in state elections.
*Liberals are staunchly against the death penalty for convicted murderers, saying it is wrong to take life no matter what the reason.
However, liberals consider unrestricted abortion to be a choice, a constitutional right.
*In today's PC speak, it's unconscionable to call someone with a mental handicap retarded.
Calling our military stupid, though, is within accepted limits...especially since The Simpsons have gotten on the bandwagon.
*Any reference to Christianity or Judaism in schools (including silent prayer) is considered a direct violation of the separation of church and state.
Yet in California, courts have okayed a mandatory three-week learning unit in some schools where students must "become" Muslims: adopting Muslim names, praying to Allah, and playing jihadist games.
*Political extremist Ann Coulter is never featured in women's magazines.
But political extremist Eve Ensler, who advocates celebrating one's vagina, often is.
*Colleges and universities claim to be bastions of free speech.
Yet when conservatives are invited to speak, students who disagree with them take to hurling pies (and even violence) in order to quiet views opposed to theirs, and the perpetrators are given a slap on the wrist by university officials.
As Jerry Seinfeld would say, "What's up with that?" If anyone has any answers for me about these conundrums, I'd love to hear them.

Pam, you got me...I have never understood their thinking.

I would like to think that our nation is having a long-delayed collective nervous breakdown directly related to 9/11 and that we will get over it by 2008. However, by then it may be too late.
All we can do is trust in God and pray as we've never prayed before.
And while we're praying - we need to document and PUBLICIZE every single stupid, disloyal, corrupt and anti-American act commited by the Dems.
